Topology-optimized dielectric cavities for enhanced excitonic light emission from WSe2

Abstract Photonic inverse design and, especially, topology optimization, enable dielectric cavities with deeply sub-diffraction mode volumes and high quality factors, thus offering a powerful platform for enhanced light-matter coupling. Here, we design and fabricate arrays of CMO...

Pathway to optical-cycle dynamic photonics: extreme electron temperatures in transparent conducting oxides

We theoretically demonstrate that transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) exhibit oscillatory and sign-reversing dynamic modulation in transmittance on the order of a few optical cycles under extreme electron temperatures, providing a possible explanation for TCO dynamics observed i...
